Radio noise in the 60s was minimal with only two man made sources to screw up
the excellent reception(especially in the winter during clear weather).One was
the tv whine produced on some frequencies if it was in the hearing range and
the other was those pesty fluorescent light tubes with the faulty starter cans
and then of course lightning in the summer every 3 days.Without the pests,it
was possible to listen to the big guys in the Eastern states from eastern New
Brunswick during daylight hours.Some of these big guys were coming in from
Boston,Albany,Buffalo,NYC,Baltimore,and other big cities.From Saint John NB it
was and maybe still is possible to listen comfortably to 1510 in Boston
24/7/365 across 300 wet miles.Those were the days of good DX with barefoot
transistor portables.BILL in BC
